The fowl enclosure shall be maintained in a safe and humane fashion and is maintained in a sanitary condition, free from offensive odors and accumulation of excrement and feed. All outside feed must be stored in a secured container so as not to attract vermin and predators.
The fowl enclosure must be at least 25 feet from the nearest neighbor’s property line and no closer than four feet to owners’ residential structure.
The enclosure shall be covered and secure so that the fowl cannot escape, and predators cannot access the enclosure.

Fowl may not be used for commercial purposes.
